I tried doing a background on this. It just didn’t work out. I tried a couple, actually. But they were all grafted-on kind of things. When I start doing new stuff from here on out I’m going to try and remember to keep backgrounds in mind. Don’t you all forget to remind me.

I fixed the issue with the legs I was talking about last time, but it could probably do with a bit more work before we throw more detail on. I’m not happy with the saddle, though, and I think his tail came out a bit thinner than usual; I’ll have to work on that.

This is part of a frame from a sort of practice animation I’ve been working on in Flash, involving a certain tiger frolicking avec un geai bleu. I’m afraid I never have gotten the hang of drawing on the tablet yet, so this is also an excuse to do un poquito de eso. What progress I made this week, vide infra:

It’s actually a little better than I thought it was. But then, I guess I was thinking of the other frames in the set which, now that I look at them, are actually not of very good quality.

This picture is going to be a little bit ambitious, so there’s a decent chance it won’t be any good for a long time. Outside of a few establishing outlines, this is all I’ve got to show so far:

And it ain’t much!

This is, of course, Moriarty, doing his job as a riding beast, with one of those little headset thingies clamped to his ear. As for the legs, you’d think after having a quadrupedal avatar for so long I’d know how to draw forelegs properly. Gyah! Look for them to be redrawn by next time.
